Hey folks,
Just trying to get an idea how many of us are counting the days till the ripcord is pulled.
I started my countdown this week. Whoo hoo!

Interesting. Wonder what it will take for the execs to stop saying it is the best thing SF has ever done
Not many are playing their cards yet. I know of 2 that said March 1 was their last day early on. Several more are looking and/or planning on leaving as soon as the bonuses (SF severance) is paid out. Taking 2/3 of remaining engineering analysts out of SF should worry IEOM, but it's what they asked for by outsourcing/offshoring work in the first place. No sympathy there.
I've already seen several signs first hand over the last 2 weeks that the offshore analysts aren't capable of doing the work. Context: I had to step in and do it for them because they dropped the ball. Also, managers are very worried about re-badged analysts leaving even though they made the "retained" list. It's a valid concern because those left will be doing the majority of the work. I'm convinced they're keeping the 2/3 of the re-badgers in the "redeploy" bucket even though they don't have any work - basically the bench. At least for a while.
That way, when 1) The "retained" engineers leave, 2) Things go really bad resulting in serious outages, or 3) Both, they're able to pull back from the redeploy pool to cover their keisters. This should be interesting.
Starting my new full remote AWS engineer position on 3/4 and have an email scheduled from my personal account for the evening of 3/3 to notify my boss I won't be in anymore!
